Small Estate Sale Haul
« on: May 07, 2022, 05:30:54 PM »
Ran into town to check a sale listed online, but it was pretty pillaged. Still managed to find a few items for a whopping $9. Didn't realize it was half price day until I checked out, which was probably a good thing as I would have bought a bunch more random $1 hand tools I don't need. The Plumb 12oz hammer for $1.50 is my vote for best buy in the lot.



The steel rule is a very old Starrett #603(marked as The L.S.S. Co.) and has graduations across on the short ends, which I haven't seen before.





The lineman dikes are Krauter Industrial and a little beat in the jaws, but have good cutting edges still. Good pliers to throw in the pickup.

Heck, the Kaeuter dikes and the hammer are worth more than what you paid for the entire lot -- by a long shot. Congrats --

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I say I don't collect them, but if you have more than 3 of something...

The smaller silver one is stamped Eagle on the top, but screen printed Master Mechanic on the side. Back from the days of stores house branding high quality domestic products instead of chinese ripoff junk.

Definitely a great score.
Does the Plumb have the screw wedge, or the permabond red epoxy ?
